I have a morning routine that I like to follow. After taking care of my biological needs, I feed my kitties and go to the office under the stairs in our hundred year old farmhouse and listen to a Tara Brach meditation while I consume content from all my favorite sources via feedly and enjoy a cup of coffee…
This morning, things were feeling a little close — close as in the lesser known definition of 'hot, humid, air not moving' because there's no circulation in that little room under the stairs. It was spreading into my thinking and I was becoming irritable, so, I moved out to the deck and set up shop with my humble chromebook. As I write, I'm now watching the sunrise as it rises over our fields. A gentle breeze is blowing at my back and my favorite kitty [who can not join me in the house due to my wife's allergies] is sitting like a muse by my side…
So simple! Sit and stew in a small place or move into one with more possibilities. The distance in our home is not more than 20 feet but sometimes a small move can have big consequences for the good…

In order to build community within the Wisconsin School of Business, the BBA Gov is continuing the T-Shirt Tradition. On the first of each month, business students wear their black "I AM Wisconsin School of Business" t-shirts in Grainger Hall! In this way, wherever students go on campus, they can see the far-reaching impact of students in the Wisconsin School of Business. BBA Gov gives out a reward in the Undergrad Lounge (Room 1250) to students wearing their t-shirts on that day. So far this year, BBA Gov distributed water bottles in October, coffee and bagels in November, and cookies and a chance to your photo taken with Bucky Badger in December.
BBA Gov partners several student organizations within the Wisconsin School of Business to participate in the Walk or Run for Wishes in September at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. Your participation in this inaugural event will help grant wishes to Wisconsin kids with life-threatening medical conditions through Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin. There were more than 230 wishes in progress in 2011, and together, we can help bring these special wishes to life.
A wish is a moment of joy, fantasy and laughter in the midst of a much darker time in the lives of children and their families. What could be better than knowing your participation will help make these special wishes a reality?
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the Wisconsin School of Business is spreading awareness with an innovative week of programming as part of Grainger Goes Pink (GGP). Grainger Goes Pink is a celebration and fundraiser founded by alumnus Jon Fasoli, who had a family member with the illness.
BBA Gov celebrates its annual GGP by collaborating with students, student organizations, Wisconsin School of Business faculty, staff, and administration, and local Madison businesses. In order to educate students on Breast Cancer BBA Gov, in partner with other WSoB organizations, BBA Gov will distribute flyers and pins to large lectures, and will sell T-shirts, wristbands, and more at the Atrium tables in Grainger.
For Grainger Goes Pink 2011, BBA Gov and more than 18 Wisconsin School of Business organizations celebrated the event on October 24-28th. In total, more than $2,500 was raised this year, which surpassed our original goal by more than $1000! The following events were held during the week:
BBA Gov would like to thank: MKT, Beta Alpha Psi, Badger Business Buddies, DECA, the ALC, Delta Sigma Pi, AKPsi, Risk Management and Insurance Society, SIFE, Women in Business, AIESEC, Actuarial Science Club, Sports Business Club, Finance and Investment Society, Wisconsin Consulting Club, FBLA-PBL, and Investment Banking Club for their efforts in making Grainger Goes Pink successful.
In February, the Wisconsin School of Business will be taking the plunge – the Polar Plunge that is – at Olin Turville Park in Madison. The Polar Plunge is one of the biggest fundraising efforts of the Special Olympics of Wisconsin to raise funds for their events, while honoring a classic Wisconsin tradition.
BBA Gov partners several student organizations within the Wisconsin School of Business to participate in the Polar Plunge. All participants registered with affiliated WSoB teams will be invited to the Grainger Café from 9:00-10:30 the morning of the Plunge for breakfast. Following a hearty breakfast, a bus arrives in the morning at the Union to take participants to Olin Turville Park for the Polar Plunge.
If you have any questions regarding the Polar Plunge or how to get your student org involved, contact the Vice President – Programming email@example.com.

"I'm just excited that we played good defensively," Reed coach Ray Charles said. "We held them to one run in that inning and kept the game within reach. I just feel like the kids are gaining confidence. It's another good win for us. Carson played really well. They made a lot of plays. It was just a good high school game."
The Raiders got off to a quick start, making Carson pay for a number of costly mistakes. Senior Ryan Butler moved to second base on a fielder's choice after a dropped third strike allowed him to reach base safely. A wild pitch then advanced Butler to 90 feet from home, setting up Chuck Stroberg for an RBI single and an early 1-0 Reed advantage.
With junior Mark Nowaczewski on the mound for the Blue and Gold, the lone run would hold for Reed. Unfortunately for those in Raider Nation, the visiting bats fell silent after the opening run.
Still down by a single run in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Senators finally broke through and got to Nowaczewski, pushing a run across the plate to tie the game at 1-1. Neither team was able to generate scoring in the seventh inning, sending the game into extras.
The extra-inning affair did not last long as the Raiders prevented a marathon by plating two runners in the top of the eighth, again taking full advantage of Carson blunders.
An error on a grounder allowed senior Tanner Paris to reach first. Paris then progressed to second on a sacrifice bunt from Butler, giving Beau Tittensor the opportunity to send Paris home with the go-ahead run on a single into right field. Now holding a 2-1 lead, a wild pitch and an infield single from A.J. Silva placed runners on the corners for the Raiders. Stepping to the dish, Stroberg again delivered, this time in the form of a sacrifice fly for a 3-1 Reed lead.
Still on the bump, Nowaczewski relinquished the game to fellow senior Jake Means after giving up a leadoff single in the bottom half of the eighth frame. Means immediately destroyed any thoughts of a comeback from the Senators as a line drive to shortstop was caught and quickly turned into a double play at first. A strikeout sealed the victory for the Raiders.
Nowaczewski went seven innings for the win, striking out eight while walking three and hitting two batters. The Raiders managed seven hits in the contest.
"Mark pitched outstanding," Charles said. "He just pitched really well. He gave us a good pitching performance and gave us a chance to win from the mound today."
Reed (11-9, 6-7 Northern 4A) will have a rematch with Carson (7-6 Northern 4A) on Thursday at home with first pitch set for 3:45 p.m.
"I expect another good game," Charles said. "We're just trying to get better and trying to gather some momentum. We want to keep getting ourselves wins so we can sneak into the playoffs. That's kind of what we're trying to do and taking it game by game. Hopefully we get enough wins to sneak in there."

Our beloved grandfather, Poppy Sol, started this business in an open-air market. Three generations later, we're still bringing smiles to our customers' faces.
— Jonathan G, West Hartford, CT November 10, 2010
"Wow. I was blown away. The order I placed on Friday afternoon was on my doorstep on SATURDAY morning. Even after all of your confirmations said it would take one business day. And the products -- all great. My kids are huge fans of the mochi and dried fruits and I think the nuts and trail mixes are great. All this and the prices are far lower for comparable products at my organic grocery store. Thanks for the service -- I will be back soon, and frequently. You have a business you should be proud of. Regards, Jonathan"

Resort and amenities fees, telephone surcharges, mini-bar restocking charges, automatic gratuities — the list of add-on fees that can appear in the fine print of a hotel contract is long, and getting longer by the minute.
Barbara Mastroddi was recently surprised by a new add-on fee while planning a breakfast meeting. "On the hotel's menu for 'Continental-Style Breakfasts,' there was a line that read 'Maximum service time of one hour; with seating add $2.50 per person,'" says the events and communications associate at the Center to Advance Palliative Care in New York. "I had never been assessed such a charge."
Catherine Lyons, director of meetings and trade shows for the International Sleep Products Association in Alexandria, Va., has also seen new fees lately. "I am seeing a 19 percent to 20 percent service charge on in-house audiovisual — on top of rental and labor rates," she says.
"I had a new one last week," says Gerri Ayers, president of Ayers Meetings & Events Inc. in Houston. "It was a 'passing' fee to cover the cost of banquet staff passing the drinks on trays to guests. This was in addition to the standard bartender fees and the 20 percent gratuity added to the $5.50-per-drink cost."
Keeping track of all the extra fees and ensuring that their customers get the best possible rate is becoming more and more challenging for planners. "It just seems like a lot of nickel and diming," Mastroddi says. "It is like buying a car — you get a proposal with one price, and then only when you read the fine print do you see the additional service fees or resort fees you will have to pay. If we charged this way for registration or booth rental for our meetings, we would have some very unhappy customers."
A New Revenue Stream
Hotels have seen some very unhappy customers. According to American City Business Journals Inc., some hotel chains have settled class-action lawsuits that allege fees weren't disclosed in advance, including Wyndham International Inc., Hilton Hotels Corp., Hyatt Corp., Marriott International Inc., and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. But that hasn't stopped hotels from adding fees.
Why would a hotel continue to engage in a practice that clearly irritates its customers? Three words: Cold hard cash.
According to Pricewaterhouse-Coopers, add-on fees will supply the hotel industry with an estimated $1.4 billion in extra revenue in 2005. "Planners should be alert to a master-folio billing charge, a bartender charge in addition to the traditional cost per bottle opened, meeting-room charges in rooms for food-and-beverage service, meeting-room yield management charges, and housekeeping and bell automatic gratuities and service charges," says Bjorn Hanson, PhD, head of PricewaterhouseCoopers' Hospitality and Leisure Practice division. (See sidebar, page 24, for a complete list of potential add-on fees.)
Rather than do away with profitable add-on fees, hotels are now more careful to disclose them before striking a deal with a customer. For example, Hilton recently instituted a new company-wide pricing policy. "We classify charges in two ways: mandatory pricing or optional pricing," says Dennis Koci, senior vice president of operations support for Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. "Room rates are considered mandatory pricing. Things like parking, room service, and telephone service are considered optional pricing. It's Hilton's official policy that all mandatory prices must be disclosed at time of purchase (when a reservation is made). That's how we train our managers."
Hilton continues to use add-on fees, including resort fees, but these charges are now optional, and must be disclosed to customers before they are charged — which means a customer cannot be charged an optional fee unless he or she opts in. This is also the case with associations booking on behalf of a group.
Marriott also tries to maintain full disclosure with customers. "We believe in being open with our customers from the start so they are not surprised," says Laurie Goldstein, manager of public relations for Marriott International. "Marriott does not charge resort fees. But for many of our customers, we are bundling phone and Internet charges. This saves the customer money and assures that they are not surprised by a lot of fees."
"Our challenge these days is that as hotels have seen consumers become more accepting of these fees, they now see dollar signs and a new revenue stream," says Steve Collins, owner of Breckenridge, Colo., meeting-planning firm Resort Meeting Source LLC. "They have seized upon this as a way to raise their rates without really raising their rates. They can still run advertisements with an eye-popping rate offer, and bury the fees in the fine print."
How to Fight Fees
Fortunately, planners aren't powerless in the face of add-on fees. "We as consumers have the power to change this," Collins says. How? Through careful negotiation.
"When talking to a resort property, I explain that we are meeting all day and ask why we should pay a resort fee when not one of our people will use its facility," says Kathleen Fish, director of programs for the Association of Management Consulting Firms in New York. "If the resort wants the business, it will knock it off, and if it doesn't, we will go to another property."
Collins has also successfully negotiated away the expense of add-on fees. "I had one hotel property implement a $5 resort fee between when it quoted rates to me and when we went to contract," Collins says. "The resort fee was 'non-negotiable,' but it dropped the room rate by $5 so the end effect was the same. Had it not done that, we would have taken the business elsewhere."
Tom Blackman, CMP, supports Fish's and Collins' tactics. "Know how much the hotel wants your group," says the director of sales and marketing for Seascape Resort Monterey Bay in Aptos, Calif. "If your group is valuable, then the hotel might even tolerate out-of-pocket expenses beyond discounting room rates and negotiating add-on fees. Not five minutes ago a salesperson came to me and said 'I think we can get this $40,000 conference if we are willing to provide the group transportation to a local attraction.' We gave the group their requested transportation — a cost of $460 directly out of the resort's pocket. This group knew how much we wanted its conference."
Keep in mind that the amount of leverage you have with a hotel is in direct proportion to the number of guest rooms your attendees will occupy in relation to the group's resource requirements and how much money the group will spend while at the property, Blackman says. "If your group is small, say 20 people and 20 rooms, please don't expect a large property to offer concessions, discounts, and free rooms," he says. "But, there's a property for every group, even the one that needs 5,000 square feet of space and 20 overnight guest rooms."
After you've negotiated your way to a hotel contract free of add-on fees, John Foster, Esq., CHME, an attorney with the Atlanta firm Foster, Jensen & Gully LLC, recommends adding further protection by including a clause that prohibits the addition of fees without your consent. The following example is the clause Foster uses in all his contracts.
Miscellaneous Charges/ Authorized Signatures:
No additional charges not specified in this contract, or any addendum, will be incurred by XYZ Group for work performed or for services or items provided by HOTEL unless HOTEL has first obtained prior written permission from an authorized representative of XYZ Group to have the work completed or the service or item provided.
Neither XYZ Group nor attendees will be responsible for additional surcharges, gratuities, or service fees not included in this contract without XYZ Group's or an attendee's written consent, respectively.
This clause also protects planners from unexpected charges that can occur when someone without authority to consent orders something from the hotel, such as an extra projector or plate of hors d'oeuvres. With this clause in your contract, "a hotel is obligated to take requests for items only from someone representing the meeting sponsor that has the authority to make those decisions," Foster says. "If the hotel takes orders from a person that is not authorized by the meeting sponsor to place such orders, then the hotel does so at its own risk." Just be sure to designate one or more persons in the contract as being authorized to provide consent so the hotel will know to whom it should listen and respond.
"Planners still have recourse to fight add-on fees without this clause," Foster says, "but the clause makes it easier to protest an unauthorized charge."
Potential Add-On Fees
According to a 2003 study by PricewaterhouseCoopers, surcharges appearing in the U.S. lodging market include the following:
Cancellation fees of one-night's room rate plus tax (unless the hotel is notified two to five days in advance).
Early-departure fees averaging $50. Master-folio billing fees anywhere from $50 to more than $1,000 for maintaining an organization's master folio for direct billing, even though the hotel is not paying commissions on individual corporate credit cards.
Resort and amenities fees ranging from $15 to $20 for towels, fitness-center access, tennis- and basketball-court access, in-room coffee and tea, daily-newspaper delivery, etc.
Telephone surcharges on local calls longer than 20 minutes and connection fees for toll-free calls to capture revenues from guest use of local dial-up, Internet, and calling card calls.
High-speed Internet-access charges of approximately $9.95 for each 24-hour cycle, incurred during the first use, whether the Internet is used again or not.
Increased fax charges ranging from $1 to $5 per page.
Handling charges for overnight packages.
Room-service delivery fees of approximately $2.50 in addition to a 15 percent to 17.5 percent gratuity.
Mini-bar restocking charges up to 20 percent of prices.
Automatic gratuities or service charges for housekeepers, bellmen, and doormen.
Room charges for meeting rooms in which food and beverages are served during a meeting, in addition to meeting-room rental fees. (This had been a practice in many hotels in cities including New York and San Francisco, and now hotels in other cities are doing so.)
Open-bar reception charges have changed from an average single fee of $125 that included the bottle plus bartender fees to $125 plus bartender fees, gratuities, and tax.
Long-distance telephone charges.

Here's a bike to make any 16-year-old's visor steam up: the 500 cc supermoto-styled SM50, made in Taiwan and exclusively branded 'WK' in the UK. WK has been set-up by the same UK company who are behind Quadzilla Quads, who've been in the learner-legal quad market for over 10 years.
125cc, 16bhp, 75mph, Insurance group 7
Moto Hispania is a Spanish company with a reputation for quality at a price, which sums up the RX125R to a Tee. The newcomer is a stylish, sports learner 125 with a Yamaha-alike four-stroke engine. It's competitively priced, with sports biased handling, big bike looks and a reliable engine.
278cc, 22.5bhp, 75mph, Insurance group
The Aprilia SportCity Cube is a totally restyled version of the Sportcity 250ie chassis fitted with a bored and stroked Piaggio Quasar engine, taking it to 278cc. It may seem like 300cc is an odd choice of capacity, but it gives Aprilia a head-on rival to Honda's Italian chart-topping SH300 high-wheeler that's both stylish and comfortable around town.
124cc, 12bhp, 70mph, Insurance group 4
As the name suggests, the Moto Hispania SM1125 is a Spanish made learner legal supermoto. It certainly looks the part and will have young potential customers drooling at shop windows. It's competitively priced, being one of the cheapest in its class, but is let down by poor build quality and by using an old air-cooled Yamaha engine.
124cc, 12bhp, 75mph, Insurance group
It does what is says on the tin but with some added extra style. The four stoke motor is virtually bullet proof if on the slow side and old compared to the two stoke competition. But it's dependable, easy to ride, cheap to run, light, functional but with added extra Supermoto styling.
124cc, 15bhp, 60mph, Insurance group 2
The Rieju MRX125 is a pukka dirt style learner trailie from Spain with excellent road manners, quality detailing and tempting price. Four stroke engine is from Yamaha so is proven and reliable. Performance adequate rather than stunning, but all-ropund a great introduction to motorcycling.

Big Bash 2012 concluded Sunday morning with the Awards Brunch in Knowling Fieldhouse. Wabash alums celebrated a Big Bash or records.
Director of Alumni Affairs Tom Runge announced that the 351 alums signing the register made 2012 the third biggest Bash in the weekend's nine years.
"Also those super young guys from the class of 2007, cold showers and all, set a new record for the fifth-year class reunion," Runge announced. "We also had five classes win the Donor Challenge, the second highest number of classes to ever do that. Congratulations to the Classes of 1962, 1977, 1997, 2002, and 2007.
Wabash men traveled from 31 different states and Washington D. C. to be a part of Big Bash.
The 1909 Trophy Cup Winner was the Class of 1962 with 30.3 percent of the class returning for the Bash. Terry Fewell and Thom Feit accepted the award from President Patrick White. The 1928 Attendance Trophy Winner was the Class of 1967 with 48 alumni signatures in the registration book. The Class of '62 trailed the winners by just one attendee.
The Robinson-Ragan Award for Alumni Chapel Sing was also taken by the Class of '62. The Class of '67 was second with the class of '07 winning third. Runge offered an honorable mention to the class of 2002 which had one participant – Ryan Daming!
The Dorman Hughes '43 Award is presented by the alumni office to salute class agents who go above and beyond in organizing their class reunion. The office decided it was a tie this year with Thom Feit and Terry Fewell of '62 along with Craig Miller and Justin Castle for the Class of 1997.
The Edmund O. Hovey Annual Giving Award also went to the Class of '62 who ran away from the field with 65.79 percent participation from their class making a gift to the College.
President White wrapped up Big Bash weekend with remarks. He thanked all of the returnees and their significant others for returning to Wabash and their continued efforts to make young men's dreams come true.
He also told the story of NCAA National Champion Track athletes Kevin McCarthy and Jake Waterman. He shared how both are hard workers, good students, and young men of perseverance. How the two represent the spirit of Wabash. He added how important scholarships are to the young men who continue to make Wabash the special place the alums treasure.
Runge thanked his office staff, Bon Appetit staff, campus services, and Communications and Marketing staff for their Big Bash work.

I don't think a long(ish) post is necessary for this one. By now, you have heard that Oregon's star crossed Chip Kelly has had a characteristic change of heart and will become the new Philadelphia Eagles' Head Coach.
Or if you're into things that make a lot of f-ing sense, you'll wonder how convenient the timing of Oregon's looming recruiting violations had on Kelly's decision.
Or if you're into eternal Browns' suffering, you may be asking why Kelly didn't realize he should have pulled a Pete Carroll two weeks ago.
Anyway, what's done is done.
For some enlightened analysis, I can only offer the following:
1. No matter what, the Browns' new front office and ownership needs to keep a really clean ship over the next few days and not let any former Kelly details spill out. Both in terms of overall team image and support for Rob Chudzinski, these new(er) Browns have to both stand up for their chosen coach AND reaffirm their company line that Kelly's "heart wasn't in the NFL."
2. Regarding Kelly's aforementioned "heart", I really have to wonder if Kelly is even completely sold on becoming an NFL Head Coach – or at least taking over the Eagles. Again, Oregon's tenuous recruiting situation had to have colored Kelly's decision. And since we know (along with Tampa Bay Bucs fans) how indecisive Kelly is, it's worth questioning just how long Kelly will remain with the Eagles.
3. And I'm not suggesting this as a bitter Browns' fan, but as a cold realist: Based on his history of interviewing with NFL teams, can you really see Kelly sticking with one team for more than a season or two?
4. Seriously?
5. One idea that has gone unmentioned in the recent mini-trend of college coaches taking over NFL teams is the propensity of college coaches to constantly switch jobs and grab more money. Don't think for a second that Kelly won't bolt back to college if he struggles – or move to another NFL team if he doesn't. You think free agent athletes are bad? Try a well-paid college coach.
6. This brings us back to a boring, but ultimately more grounded footing in Cleveland. Had Kelly signed with the Browns, these exact same concerns would have been present. I know it's not trendy, but Kelly was anything other than permanent – which is something the least stable franchise in the league needs right now.
7. Naturally, the talk will shift to inferiority over the coming days – a literal "what's Philadelphia have that we don't?" Not a whole lot – other than the remains of a franchise that needed to replace Andy Reid. It's an understatement to say that Reid left a huge void (literally) in that he influenced nearly every aspect of the Eagles' organization. Basically, the Eagles weren't just replacing a Head Coach, but finding a person who could assume multiple roles.
8. Conversely, the Browns – following an older Eagles' model – made the early decision to not structure their organization in the same way. Even though Banner has suggested that Chudzinski will have his say in personnel matters, the Browns' system is far different than the one Kelly will assume in Philadelphia.
9. And if you're following this logic, it's going to be far more difficult for the Eagles to replace Kelly in a year or two than it will be for the Browns to replace Chudzinski.
10. Or maybe that's just all one big, clumsy rationalization.
And so it goes.
About Mike Lombardi….
While the Bill Simmons' of the world will hail the hiring of Mike Lombardi as some genius move, the rest of us only know Lombardi as a really good self-promoter, shill, charlatan and long-time unofficial media liason for Bill Belichick – the kind of guy who is ultra-connected in NFL league circles yet somehow never could land a real NFL GM job.
Of course, in the NFL – who you know often trumps what you know. And in Lombardi's case, he knows Joe Banner and for the last several years, has made incredibly easy blanket statements on the various personnel errors committed by an assortment of NFL teams. Naturally, it's much easier to cast blame from high above than it is to actually be the person making the decisions that improve NFL teams.
Yet, the kicker here is that even though Lombardi has been hired, he still will not function as an NFL GM. To compare Lombardi's role with that of Tom Heckert's is like comparing Pat Shurmur's creativity to Chip Kelly's. Lombardi is entering the ideal situation for someone who is keen on extending his image as a top NFL thinker – especially considering that the current Browns' personnel decisions will flow through Banner.
In other words, to call Lombardi a GM is a gross misstatement.
However, if the Browns do improve – which based on the last few years of drafts and a modest upgrade in coaching will occur – look for Lombardi to claim credit. If not, well – he was never really GM to begin with.
Anyway – and so it goes in Cleveland. Upon exiting a corrupt era of Browns' football where Mike Holmgren's agent basically corrupted the entire organization, a major hire of the new regime is based on too convenient connections.
Yet, I still say that even though Lombardi is a fraud – and even though Heckert was efficient – I will stay take Haslam, Banner and the charlatan over Randy Lerner's "pathetic irrelevance." Again, Lombardi's impact will be greatly overstated today, but will reveal itself to be minimal over the course of the next couple years.
Finally – as for the Terry Pluto's of the world who suggest that Haslam and Banner's decisions need to be more in tune with the fan's desires, I can only offer Dawg Pound Mike and a disoriented Bernie Kosar as offensive coordinator. Or in other words – what has already occurred hasn't worked, which has necessitated someone like Banner making decisions like the one he made today.
We can't have it both ways – unlike Mike Lombardi.

great till the end – My boss,myself and a friend came down to party during the ncaa tourn. expectations were high. I've stayed at the bay 3 times before but never went up to the foundation room. pretty cool place. we purchased bottle service which was a bottle of finlandia and a selection of mixers.($200.00 +tax and 18% grat. pretty standard)
we sat and drank and talked basket ball untill I was wrecked. my boss who wasn't drinking got my c.c back and payed cash to the tune of $300 total. 2 days later I check my c.c bal and there is an auth for $300. when I went upstairs to talk to Evan the ops manager he assured me it was going to come off my card in the next day or so. After weeks of unanswered calls and the run around Ive decided to try and warn others about the pitfalls of this shady operation.
Its Who You Know – I just returned from a four day stint in Vegas......long.....yes.....but amazing. We went for my friends b-day.......and I would have to say that The Foundation Room was the highlight of the trip. Luckily one of our friends has the hook-up in Vegas and we got in without a hitch on Friday night. 4 girls 3 guys......and all of the drinks we could throw back.......on the house :o) Although somewhat unassuming this place has the absolute BEST view of the strip and is kinda of a cozy spot. There were a lot of older guys.....but our tighknit group had the most fun just hangin out, dancing, and making a scene by ourselves.
Amazing view of the city – Monday nights Foundation Room opens up to the public, and I'd have to say that it's one of the best nights to go. It gets a little bit crowded after 12 am, but there are enough rooms that it's never unbearable. The best part is that the outside decks have an amazing view of the strip. If you're only in Vegas for a few days, I would highly recommend going up there and maybe taking some pictures. Drinks are a little pricey, but the music and atmosphere are amazing.
Sexy, dark and decadent, this exclusive club endorses racial harmony, music education and trendsetters with martinis in hand. – In Short
Decked out in artifacts from Africa, India and the Far East, along with traditional American folk art, the club is draped in seductive jewel tones and unpredictable, mysterious touches. Guests who drop a few hundred for private wine and liquor bottle service are escorted to one of several secluded "prayer" rooms, filled with flickering candles on silver platters, dark-wood tables and velvet chairs. The open-air balcony's Strip view is nothing less than spectacular.
great views, cheesy crowd – The views are stellar. Since this is a members club (read: suits) the crowd is not all that great. The venue, food, service and view makes it worth checking out though.
Best View In Las Vegas – The view from the Foundation Room is THE BEST in the city - by far. All of the rooms in FR are cool and relaxing. The drinks are expensive but well worth it. If you hang with a group of cool, fun people - with some coin in your pocket - hit the Foundation Room - if you can get in - it's private.

The backcourt struggled to score. The frontcourt struggled to get a stop.
Outside of a strong performance from junior forward Emily Cady, Nebraska women's basketball coach Connie Yori struggled to find many positives in a 70-57 loss to Michigan State.
The No. 16 Huskers trailed by double digits for the entire second half — 25 points at one juncture. They threw away offensive possessions with traveling calls, bad passes and wayward, careening shots. And they let the mess on one end of the floor bleed onto the other.
"We let poor offense dictate our defense," Yori said on her postgame radio show. "That's a sign of playing on the road, not being as tough as we need to be. You can't let mediocre to poor offense impact what you're doing on the other end. We just let them have too many good looks."
"Them" included starting Spartan forwards Annalise Pickrel and Becca Mills, who combined for 27 points and hit 10 of 21 shots. Pickel knocked down four 3-pointers. Guard Aerial Powers added 17 points and 15 rebounds as Michigan State (10-5, 2-0 Big Ten) scored 30 points in the paint. Powers' putback at the halftime buzzer finished an 11-3 run and gave Michigan State a 37-24 halftime lead.
The Spartans opened the second half on another 11-3 run to push their lead to 48-27. Powers, a freshman, scored six points during that stretch.
Nebraska (11-3, 1-1) tried several different tacks to score against Michigan State's big frontcourt. None of them, until a late surge after the game had long been decided, were effective.
Nebraska initially missed outside shots. Then guards Rachel Theriot, Tear'a Laudermill and Brandi Jeffery tried attacking the basket to little avail — the trio made just 6 of 28 shots on the night. Entry passes to Cady and Jordan Hooper, who scored 21 points, worked at times. Other lobs were swatted away or stolen.
"Our problem was we kept staring at the person posting up, so the defense shifted and took it away at times," Cady said on the postgame radio show.
Cady finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Yori praised the Seward, Neb., native for her consistent effort.
"She got to the line," Yori said. "She drove the ball. She had a pretty good match and she started taking advantage of that. She's our glue."
The Huskers head back on the road Sunday at Illinois.

The bodies of two men and two women were removed Tuesday from a jet that crashed into a hangar Sunday at Santa Monica Airport. Patrick Healy reports for the NBC4 News at Noon on Tuesday Oct. 1, 2013.
Four bodies were recovered Tuesday morning from under a hangar that collapsed in a fiery plane crash at Santa Monica Airport, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office.
The twin-engine Cessna Citation veered off the runway after landing Sunday and crashed into a storage hangar. The burning wreckage sent a column of black smoke over the airport as the metal hangar collapsed around the plane.
Responding fire officials described the crash and fire as "unsurvivable."
The coroner's office determined the remains were those of two men and two women. Two cats and two dogs also were aboard the plane.
A statement released Monday by a Southern California construction contracting company said the firm's CEO and his son were aboard the plane. The statement from Morely Builders identified the two people as CEO Mark Benjamin and his son, Luke Benjamin, a senior project engineer with the Santa Monica-based company.
The company is behind some high-profile buildings in Southern California, including the new shuttle Endeavour wing at the California Science Center, Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles and the Getty Villa Museum.
The statement did not indicate whether there were others aboard the plane.
Federal aviation investigators are expected to continue the probe Tuesday at the airport. Crews used a crane Monday to lift the roof of the hangar, allowing investigators to access the plane. A forklift and other heavy duty equipment was used to remove the plane wreckage Tuesday morning.
The wreckage will be transported to another location for the followup investigation.
Officials did not have a timeline regarding completion of the investigation. Coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter told NBC4 that the federal government shutdown that began Tuesday might force the NTSB to suspend its investigation.
NTSB officials said there is "an indication" the plane had a cockpit voice recorder. The pilot did not indicate there was a problem with the plane and authorities could not confirm Monday that the landing gear's tire was damaged during the landing, NTSB officials said.

Just follow the manufacturers suggestion.
I am installing 1/2" hardibacker cement board (Hardiebacker 500) around bath tub. I have read somewhere on other forums about leaving 1/8" gap between sheets to compensate for an expansion. However, install instructions posted on James Hardie's website only recommends leaving 1/8" gap between sheet edges for countertop and subfloor installs, and instructs not to force edges together. Nothing about leaving gaps for wall installs.
I wonder if the 1/8" gap between boards is really necessary. The cement board appears to be structurally solid. Please share your experiences.
Just follow the manufacturers suggestion.
A little space won't hurt. Further down in the instructions there's a section on using alkali resistant mesh tape on the joints. This is important, and makes the assembly more monolithic like a mudded wall. A slight gap gives a place to smush the thinset in.
You should also be installing a vapor barrier behind the Hardie, lapped over the tiling flange of the tub and the Hardie should terminate about 1/8-1/4" above the edge of the tub deck. Since most of the flanges are thick, you can either notch the studs to make that flange flush so the Hardie can be run down over it, or stop it slightly above the flange. The bottom row of tile can overlap that area as long as at least 1/2 of the tile is supported on the CBU, which limits the size of the tile that can be used (i.e., you can't use really small tile and a high flange unless you notch the studs to allow the cbu to cover it).

An alternative to notching the studs is to cut a shallow groove along the bottom rear edge of the Hardie so it sits flush over the tub flange. Notching can be difficult in alcove installations.
That works, but notching the Hardie can be messy and keep in mind that the silica dust is dangerous when inhaled, so caution is needed.

I have installed vapor barrier - a 4mil polyethylene sheet. Hardie is cut with Fein diamond blade - not too much dust, however always cut it outdoors and wear a dust mask. Many thanks for all posts.

I think you'd be amazed to see what shows up on an air sample done outside in "fresh air"...
Heed Jim's advice about the Hardie Board Dust.
The backer is a good product but the dust is nasty.
Once the Hardie is up and the seams taped with thin set and mesh give the entire surround a couple days to cure out. Then a couple of coats of liquid membrane would be advised and you have a bullet proof installation.
Since you have gone to the trouble to leave an expansion gap don't fill it with thin set and waterproofing. I like to tape a sliver of sill gasket before these steps and leave this in place until after tiling. Once the tile and grout are done you can slice the sill gasket back and fill with silicone.
Good Luck.

Good Afternoon,
New to the forum and have a question regarding the last statement John made. I have been doing lots of research before completing my tub/shower install. I have decided on the Hardie backer with a liquid water proofer (Redguard). I thought I read if using a liquid waterproofer, you should not install a vapor barrier behind the backer board. Can you clarify this?
Thanks so much
Neither tile nor Hardie are totally waterproof, but are pretty much impervious to moisture damage. So, it's not great to encapsulate the Hardie with a sealer on both sides. In case it does get wet for any reason, it would take forever to dry out - it needs a path for any moisture to be released.

Kyla's Korner
Kyla and I go to the Franklin Public Library often. She used to love going there even more until someone had the brilliant idea to move the kitchen play area behind closed doors instead of being fully accessible for all kids at all times. But I digress.
In Wisconsin, a binding referendum is required for certain school district bonding measures. Franklin is poised to go to referendum. The only questions are when and how much.
A referendum's genesis usually can be narrowed down to two sources:
1) Gina and Jamie and JoAnne and Pam and Brenda and Dawn and Maria are all on the high school swim team. Gina and Jamie and JoAnne and Pam and Brenda and Dawn and Maria don't like the school's swimming pool. Gina and Jamie and JoAnne and Pam and Brenda and Dawn and Maria also don't like the condition of their locker rooms. Gina and Jamie and JoAnne and Pam and Brenda and Dawn and Maria vent their frustrations to their parents. Gina and Jamie and JoAnne and Pam and Brenda and Dawn and Maria all have parents who closely follow and support their daughters' athletic endeavors. They talk to other parents who don't have kids on the swimming team, but do have kids involved in other sports or activities. Over time, a consensus develops that school facilities need improvement or that completely new facilities are in order. A la the greasy wheel, they squeak long and loud enough to school officials before they ultimately agree to take their case to the taxpaying public to ask for lots and lots of money.
2) Just the opposite scenario of #1. School officials who have a strong in-bred desire to spend and spend profusely look around one day while attempting to come up with ideas on how to spend profusely. One or more comment how this or that building hasn't seen considerable maintenance since Eisenhower was President. To curry favor with parents and students alike, they begin to openly discuss the idea of building changes. To achieve greater acceptance, they call for public input. Supporters smile, nod their heads in approval and start dreaming.
School Board members, school administrators, and school employees, I'm sure, are pretty nice people for the most part. As a group, they are well-intentioned. However, something happens to these supposedly well-educated folks every day within the confines of those school buildings. Maybe it's in the water, but they tend to shed common sense and any financial acumen, rendering them helpless when it comes to complex or even simple decision-making.
I described it this way in a blog last May referring to a topic Mark Belling discussed on one of his radio programs:
He addressed a school board issue in Menomonee Falls (MF). By coincidence, MF has about the same population as Franklin and like Franklin is immensely conservative. In MF, the voting patterns are overwhelmingly Republican. As Mark put it, the last place you'd expect victories by the teacher's union with public officials thumbing their noses at the will of the people would be MF. I would add you could toss in Franklin, except that the Franklin School Board is beyond out of touch.
Mark mentioned that in some communities, especially smaller ones like MF (and I might add, Franklin) with 30-35,000 population, the teachers are often pals with the school board. They bump into one another and see each other in the community, at church, at youth school sports. They become buddies.
When a school board member's "friend," aka teacher asks for help, the school board member, rather than upset a "friend" and stand up for the electorate, instead caves.
Another factor needs to be considered.
Folks run for office with the best intentions. They are going to strive for fiscal responsibility. They will not be beholden to special interests. They will represent the taxpayers.
Then they get elected and rub elbows with the entrenched administration. They go native,

The Barking Lot is a regular weekly feature of this just in…Written by my lovely wife, Jennifer and me. It opens with the weekend dog walking forecast followed by the main blog from dog lover, Jennifer. Then it's DOGS IN THE NEWS and our close. Enjoy!
THE WEEKEND DOG-WALKING FORECAST: We grade the weather outlook for taking your pet outdoors.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy in the afternoon. High 40. "C"
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. High of 36. "C"
Here's my lovely wife, Jennifer with this week's main blog:
This Sunday while Daddy is watching Super Bowl XLVI, Kyla & I will be watching Puppy Bowl VIII and enjoying every minute of it. (We won't, however, be yelling loudly at our TV.) Could Mommy & Daughter help PB VIII draw a better rating than the Giants & Patriots? Um, probably not.
However, for those of us enjoying PB VIII we will have a new ref in charge as well as an incredible lineup of cuteness. Better than just "cute" though, the show does more than highlight who looks good on the field. This bowl game focuses on the adoptability of these darling doggies. They are always happy to share the success stories of people-and-pooch pairings like this one.
If you are like most sports enthusiasts, clearly you favor the NFL's offering over Animal Planet's. Although they can't compete with NBC this Sunday, every participant is surely a winner.

Recommended Reading
Here are, in my view, interesting, noteworthy columns and articles from the past week that I highly recommend (You will note that on occasion, I do not endorse the opinions of the author and may point that out. Despite my disagreements, I still feel the piece is worth a read).
Charlie Sykes makes the case that we are a 'Nation of Moochers.'
"...what Sykes is exposing is that we are on the march to becoming Greece. Not just a European welfare state, but the kind of welfare state where the populace has been engineered by a nanny state to riot at the very thought of not being able to mooch the life to which they have become accustomed."
Susan G. Komen vs the morality parasites
"The health services Planned Parenthood performs with respect to breast cancer become an absolute moral imperative that shields all of its other activities, including abortion services that many people find deeply objectionable (to put it mildly.) If you question any aspect of PP's activities, you want women to die. Many of PP's most ardent defenders will use exactly those words."
Aborting Hitler
"Someone once asked me whether I would abort Adolf Hitler if I knew in advance he would try to launch a Holocaust against millions of Jews. I said I would not. That is because..."
Who would Jesus tax?
"I can't believe that hot coffee didn't spew from hundreds of Christians' mouths when Obama took a text that refers directly to believers' judgment and contorted it to be interpreted as a ratcheted-up government imposed higher tax rate upon those who already bear the brunt of the tax burden."
Getting nowhere, very fast
"California has a huge state debt and Washington has a huge national debt. But that does not discourage either Governor Jerry Brown or President Barack Obama from wanting to launch a very costly high-speed rail system.
Most of us might be a little skittish about spending money if we were teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. But the beauty of politics is that it is all other people's money, including among those other people generations yet unborn."
The happiest wives in America
"Let's take a break from politics to ask the burning question: How did Karen Santorum and Ann Romney get so lucky? Just who are the happiest wives in America? According to a new report by the University of Virginia's National Marriage Project, 'When Baby Makes Three,' the surprising answer is: women who..."
The Super Bowl is over when this happens
"After an interminable wait for Super Bowl XLVI, we should get a good idea who's going to win very quickly."
The 21 rules of surviving a Super Bowl party
"The Super Bowl is the sports world's biggest amateur day, and if you're a hard-core fan who's spent all season paying rapt attention, you will be chagrined to discover you're suddenly in a room with chattering dilettantes, asking if that guy on the screen is really named Ochocinco. You could see this as a bad thing, or a healthy positive—football returning to its proper place as trifling entertainment, and not the bombastic life-consuming gladiator saga it's become. Everybody has been to a good Super Bowl party and at least one miserable one. Whether you're a guest or a host, here are some rules to make it a success."
Odds are, Super Bowl will be fun
"With Super Bowl Sunday fast approaching, what are your favorite prop bets and why?"
The NFL has an 'L' of a problem in 2016

Seattle >Bars & Clubs > El Corazon
109 Eastlake Ave, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810947.618750 -122.329307
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Belltown
Do not recommend!!!!!!! Bought my ticket, was going to a show tonight with 2 female friends of mine. I get stopped and patted by a rather small and scruff bearded bouncer. I make a joke that was innocent and not even thought through of "Do I get a happy ending with that" He then says i cannot enter the venue, because it was not funny and he holds the power. Bouncers should understand that they are soldiers for the people, they are there to keep people safe, prevent excess drunken conduct and most of all make sure people are having fun and enjoying the show. These bouncers did no such thing. After denied entrance I am waiting by the front door while my 2 female friends are inside wondering where i've went, and come back and the bouncer tells them that i only have myself to blame, and they should be making me apologize to them for missing out. 5 minutes go by while they figure out what to do and I am sitting there. I then see the bouncer step away from the curb and light a cigarette, bragging to his friends how he denied me entrance, and when i asked him if i could talk to someone else or the manager he said "I am the manager". I have nothing against the venue personally, but the bouncers are TERRIBLE!!!! They are a bunch of ego measuring clowns! In my previous years going there i have witnessed first hand misconduct by them, but over looked it because it was not me. Now I am hit by this directly, and feel the need to pass on the message.
had so much fun last time i went there! everyone says that its a bad place, but theres nothing wrong with it other than the upkeep of the bathrooms
the staff at el corazone are helpful & very friendly, it is a super fun place if you dont mind being in a tight crowd. everybody says that the staff is rude and inconsiderate, so i really didnt think it was going to be all that great, but it turns out that people are really just overreacting to people doing their jobs. its easy to get up close to the stage, and just a really good time being there.
not the cleanest venue... but all in all a nice place. they get good bands, and its a good place to go if you really wanna get close to the bands
GREAT SMALL VENUE!!! – Im taking the time to create an account just to let people know that the staff at el corazone were helpful & very friendly and very patient with any unruly people i witnessed - the place is hot and stinky by the end of the nif=ght but a GREAT VENUE to see your favorite band up close and personal. I have subtracted a star for bathrooms which are no better than all other bar/music venues around... i did hear a lot of problems wiht forgotten / expired IDs tho NO EXCEPTIONS etc....
Just be prepared to rub elbows and smell the humanity in this place in trade for a great show.
this place
El Corazon has no heart! – Bands should really stop playing there. In addition to being old, tired, and crappy, the place really doesn't treat band right and they really don't do anything to help local talent. It's a total pay-to-play setup, and you get jack for your efforts. An example: I know a band that was offered a measly $50 to play a set there opening for a big metal band on an international tour, and the tickets were going for more than $25 bucks! Times that by 400 metalheads, and the club sold $10,000 of tickets that night, not to mention sales at the bar. Pay that low is an insult to bands and artists, but is typical of many clubs in Seattle. El Corazon definitely sets the pace in the race to the bottom.
BATHROOMS! – I hated it! The staff were nothing but complete dickholes..
If you have ever been there and used the restrooms you would notice that the walls are completely covered in writing from many people who have been there for YEARS! You think if they really didnt want to people to write on them you would uhh one make a sign, or two paint over it. Honestly who would know that it was not okay to keep doing it. Anyways, I made the mistake by writing nothing bad but " may the peace be with you" on there bathroom walls as one the employees walks by and yells "GET THE F*** OUT". At first i thought he was kidding was going to say just f***ing with ya after i got to the door where i realized not only was he the only dickweed that worked there but yet the WHOLE staff was. i will never bring any business back to that venue ever. I understand tagging it bad and would never do it if i didnt think it was okay. They could of atleast asked nicely and atleast understood where I was coming from with the confusion.
I had a good experience – I went here on July 9th to see The Maine. It was going to be almost 90 degrees so I was thinking "oh great, this is going to be horrible." And I had read a lot of really suckish reviews beforehand so I really wasn't expecting anything too great. So, I got there and was waiting in line and the security guard really wasn't rude at all. He was pretty friendly actually. I got in and saw it was really small. But I know that even if I had went back as far as I could've then I probably would've been able to have still a great view so that was a plus. Luckily, I bought water before the show because it was really hot. But, what I really liked was since it was so hot, they were passing around ice,cold water bottles throughout the crowd and sprayed everyone down with a hose which was obviously greatly appreciated. A lot of people said the sound system sucked but I found it pretty good. It wasn't like at other concerts were it would be so loud I thought my eardrums were literally going to burst. I didn't find it too soft either and could clearly hear everything that was said on stage. So overall, I'd say this was a pretty good venue. I didn't go to the bar though,obviously, so I wouldn't know anything about that. I don't know if the people were nicer because there were lots of teenage girls there or if it would've even made a difference but, I really liked it. They don't really have the greatest air conditioning but really, how air conditioned can you be cramped in a super small venue filled with over 800 people? I would think not very much. The heat was pretty much the only con so I really liked it. I don't know why everyone hates this place so much. I know I'm going to hate going to another concert and not being as close to the band as I was at El Corazon. That was probably my favorite part.
Worst Bouncers in SEATTLE – If you are thinking about going to El Corazon make sure it's for a band that you know will impress you because otherwise don't waste your time at this venue. They have the most rude and disrespectful bouncers I have ever encountered. They pull and push people around as if you were getting your house raided for meth by a bunch of DEA agents. Even if you ask them a simple question they answer you in a rude and demeening way. I was just checking with them on their re-entry policy and the guy wouldn't even answer me, all he did was look at me like I was an idiot. Plus ladies try not to bring in your purse if you don't have to, especially if you have anything in it that you "shouldnt have." Because they search every little zipper or make-up bag you have, ...and I thought security was rough at the airport!
Bully Bouncers – Arrogant and incompetent are the most accurate words I can use to describe the bounce staff at El Corazon. My 2 friends ( a couple) and I were dancing at the Dillinger Escape Plan show last Saturday when without warning a large bouncer, with a huge chip on his shoulder, grabbed my guy friend by the back of his collar and drug him outside. We were left standing there dumbfounded. We went out to see what the problem was and the bouncer told us we were running into people. Keep in mind this was a metal show and running into people when the whole floor is a mosh pit is pretty much unavoidable. We did have a few drinks but were by no means belligerent. I'm still not sure how he decided which one of us to toss, but I could guess he had a problem with my guy friend hanging out with 2 girls and thought he'd get rid of him to show how tough he was. Outside the bouncer refused to let my friend back in and was quite rude to all of us. I went back in the show and my friend and his girlfriend waited outside. The next time I went to check on them, my guy friend was handcuffed, face down on the pavement. The bounce staff said the police were on their way. I asked what he was being charged with, thinking maybe disorderly. They told me assault. I asked them who he hit and they said no one but he was getting in the face of the bouncer. Considering he was kicked out for dancing and the bounce staff let it escalate to the point of an arrest shows how incompetent they are at controlling even simple situations. There are plenty of reviews online that prove this. I would avoid this club if at all possible. They get one star because this form won't submit with zero.

Vacant home burglarized: The nephew of an elderly woman who's now living in a nursing home said someone broke into her vacant home on North Jackson Street between Jan. 6 and Jan. 11. The burglars broke two windows in a door and stole a 46-inch flat-screen TV, some costume jewelry and possibly some clothing, police were told.
